It seems that Vince Biegel has been getting some work on the edge. What do you like about him?
"His natural position is linebacker. There's certain defensive looks where we'll stand one of those linebackers to an open side or closed side. Part of it's more of the defensive call. So I would say that part of it, what we're doing from a scheme standpoint and it's not specific to him. His exposure to us last year playing and having snaps in the kicking game and a guy that knows what to do with the three positions is important. A lot of it had to do with really the install.”
When you guys drafted David Onyemata who is still relatively new to football, how's he grown?
“Quite a bit. We felt he would. The East-West (Shrine) game, it was really something that helped us. He had a good week there. I think he was Player of the Game. He's a hard worker and he has, I would say, really good natural strength. And so the amount of snaps he's receiving now and I'd say the transition with each mistake early in his career, very quickly he's corrected (that) and is playing extremely well.”
